On Tuesday, September 6, 2016, the Mount Prospect Police Department charged Javier Noveron, 19 years old, of 2 Whipple Tree Road, Wheeling, with two counts of Home Invasion, one count of Aggravated Domestic Battery, and one count of Robbery from an incident on Monday, September 5.

On Monday, September 5, 2016 at approximately 2:45 PM, the Mount Prospect Police Department responded to a 9-1-1 call of a reported robbery at a house in the 300 block of North Main Street (Route 83). While enroute, officers learned the offender(s) had fled, southbound on Main Street in a black Lincoln sedan. Upon arrival at the scene, officers located a female and male victim who stated Javier Noveron, who was the female’s ex-boyfriend, had unlawfully entered the house and confronted them in the basement. Noveron then took the female’s phone as she attempted to call 9-1-1. The victims went upstairs to the kitchen to get away from Noveron, but he followed them, grabbed a knife in the kitchen and threatened the male victim with it. The male victim was able to escape the residence without any injury. Noveron followed the female victim back downstairs, where he grabbed the female around the neck with his hands and began strangling her, releasing her after several seconds. Noveron exited the residence and got into a black Lincoln sedan, fleeing southbound on Main Street (Route 83). The female suffered minor injuries as a result of the attack.

Officers observed the black Lincoln sedan in the area of Main Street (Route 83) and Northwest Highway (Route 14) where a high risk traffic stop was conducted on the Lincoln. Officers took the five occupants of the Lincoln into custody without incident and transported them to the police station. Upon further investigation, it was determined four of the occupants of the Lincoln were not involved in any criminal activity at the house and were released without being charged. The fifth occupant, Javier Noveron, was charged after all of the parties involved were interviewed by a representative from the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

On Wednesday, September 7, 2016, Noveron was transported to a bond hearing at the 3rd District Courthouse of Cook County in Rolling Meadows. He appeared before the Honorable Judge Cataldo, where his bond was set at $500,000. “D”. Noveron’s next court appearance is scheduled for September 29, 2016 in room 108 of the 3rd District Courthouse of Cook County in Rolling Meadows.

The public is reminded that criminal charges are not evidence of guilt and that all defendants in a criminal case are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
